Anyone who is having troubles should pray. ... When a believing person prays, great things happen. -James 5:13,16 NCV

Confident Hope

Father, from a human
perspective, it seems that the only thing certain in this life is that nothing
is certain. So our hearts turn to You as the only source of our confident hope because
of You are trustworthy. Indeed Father, as Jeremiah said: “…..blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7 (NLT)

Father, how wonderful it is to have this hope as
an anchor for our soul. Though we don’t always have the answers to the
uncertainties of life we can always have hope in life. This is true because in
our despair you give hope. In our loneliness you give comfort.In our fear you give assurance. In all the
aspects of life you give us Yourself. We say with the Psalmist: “When doubts filled my mind, your comfort
gave me renewed hope and cheer. Psalm
94:19 (NLT)

So then Father we are encouraged to: “……hold tightly without wavering to the hope we
affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 10:23 (NLT)

The Song “Simply Trusting” express it so well:

Simply trusting every day,

Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Refrain:

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

About Prayer

Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises. Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord. And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen. (James 5:13-16 NCV)
